The most famous engagement of the chapter occurred in 852.[[M41]], when they launched a direct assault upon [[Eldar]] [[Craftworld]] [[Idharae]]. Despite suffering horrific casualties during this bold attack, the Invaders were successful; Idharae was left a ruined and desolate hulk. But the chapter was not done with the Eldar. Forty-three years later, with the Invaders still rebuilding, Craftworld [[Alaitoc]] launched a retaliatory assault on the chapter's homeworld [[Ogrys]]. Without the numbers to defend their fortress-monastery, the Invaders were quickly overcome. Only three companies survived the attack, and the Invaders became a spacebound chapter. Still under-strength after their all-out assault, and the retaliatory attack, the Invaders chapter is reported as operating in a support role to the [[Novamarines]] on the doomed planet of [[Skyfall]].{{Fn|1}}
